Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction
Experience an unparalleled level of action as you navigate the world of Sam Fisher. Go online or split screen in four co-op modes. Play the prologue to the single player storyline in co-op.
What it feels like
Sustained pressure where detection feels imminent and failure costly underpins both stealth and action sequences. A dark, serious tone pervades the narrative as Sam navigates corruption, betrayal, and personal loss without flinching.
What it's about
Spies, covert intelligence work, and infiltration missions are the core setting and gameplay loop. Sam's quest to uncover the truth behind his daughter's death and betray by his agency drives the emotional core of the narrative. Hidden powers within the agency and concealed plots structure the overarching story and character motivation.
How it plays
Avoiding detection through shadow, sound, and patrol awareness is a core pillar of gameplay, though the game balances this with direct action options. Firearms combat with tactical aiming and shooting is deeply integrated into the moment-to-moment gameplay and frequently used to engage or eliminate threats. Combat employs cover mechanics and tactical positioning as players peek, suppress, and advance through hostile environments.
How it looks and sounds
The entire game is played from a third-person perspective following Sam Fisher, establishing the camera as integral to stealth and cover mechanics.
How it's structured
A rich single-player campaign with a personal revenge narrative is the core experience. A bounded narrative arc following Sam Fisher's investigation into his daughter's death provides the story spine. Four co-op modes including a prologue to the campaign allow cooperative play alongside the single-player story.
